Markets performed some acrobatics Wednesday with some heavy swings, finishing in the black. The Nazz finished up almost 1%, rallying 72 points off its intraday low. It still finished below its 200 day MA. A bearish sign indeed. The S&P 500 closed up 0.5%, and up 26 handles from its lows of the session. It is still well below its 200 day as well. Was this a dead cat bounce, or the beginning of a dig from this steep correction in this current bull market dating back 3 plus years? I think the latter and until these indexes can muster the strength to recapture their respective 200 day MAs, I will not be impressed. As always leading stocks outperformed the indexes, with DECK HLF both up 4% on the day. Many other leaders found strong support at their 50 or 200 day MAs to the penny. Examples that found support right at 50 day support were SBUX KO ADS HAL MTZ KEG NOV. Stocks that found support right at 200 day support were EBAY FAST WYN XRAY FTNT UNP CNI POT RDSA SLB to name a few. KKR, a former leader which lost its 200 day last month, (while the market was still holding up), a bearish sign indeed showed why yesterday losing 6% on earnings. Earnings reactions after the close among stocks we follow were MTZ SWI both up about 10% after reporting. Expect earnings from APA BRY BBG CAH CHD CI PXP TDC WNR before the open, and MCHP PKI RAX SAPE SUN after the close.
Stocks with specific buy points, that also can be put on a watch list, are: Cup with high handles PM 72.84, WTI 29.37 (up 6% after reporting Wed after the bell), SAH 16.37. Double bottoms with handles are MSFT 28.25, MTZ 22.48 (also up nicely pre market on a solid earnings delivery). Cup with handles are SGY 34.56, APC 85.20.
